“Could walk into a tough situation” – Millwall star’s stance amid latest West Brom transfer report: The verdict

Championship side West Bromwich Albion are increasingly confident of getting an agreement for Millwall winger Jed Wallace over the line, Football League World revealed yesterday afternoon.

The 28-year-old looks set to depart The Den on the expiration of his contract this summer with multiple sides thought to have been interested in the ex-Wolverhampton Wanderers man in the past.

Nottingham Forest and Turkish top-tier outfit Besiktas looked like the two frontrunners for his signature back in January, though the former were at a disadvantage because they were unable to seal a pre-contract agreement for his services.

However, the latter also missed out on the wide man and this has allowed others to join the race, with Albion having the 28-year-old on their radar.

Manager Steve Bruce is keen to make full use of the free agent market in the summer with the likes of Joe Rothwell, Darragh Lenihan and John Swift all linked with a move to The Hawthorns in recent weeks – and Wallace could potentially join them.

From Wallace’s point of view though, is this the best next step for his career considering the Baggies finished lower in the division than his current side during the 2021/22 campaign? We asked three of our writers at FLW to give their view.

I am not overly convinced that West Brom is the ideal destination for Jed Wallace, as he deserves to be playing Premier League football now, and he is likely to receive stronger interest from the top-flight as the window opens and progresses.

He has been instrumental to Millwall’s attacking prowess over the last few years, emerging as a talismanic figure at The Den.

Showing ability beyond this level for three seasons now, Wallace deserves to be playing Premier League
